Above ground fuel station tank

September 02, 2024

The above ground gas station tank is a container for storing fuel, usually installed on the ground of the gas station. It has the following characteristics:

1. Structural characteristics

Material: Generally made of steel, it has high strength and corrosion resistance, and can withstand the pressure and weight of fuel.
Shape: Common shapes are cylindrical and rectangular. Cylindrical tanks are evenly stressed and relatively simple to manufacture; rectangular tanks can better adapt to the site layout of gas stations.
Capacity: The capacity varies depending on the scale and needs of the gas station, generally ranging from tens of cubic meters to hundreds of cubic meters.

2. Function

Storing fuel: Provide a stable supply of fuel for gas stations to ensure that vehicles can refuel in time.
Metering function: Usually equipped with metering equipment such as liquid level gauges, which facilitates gas station staff to accurately grasp the fuel inventory in the tank.
Safety protection: Various safety devices, such as breathing valves, explosion-proof devices, etc., are equipped to prevent dangerous situations such as fuel leakage and explosion.

3. Safety requirements

Installation specifications: It must be installed in accordance with relevant standards and specifications to ensure the stability and sealing of the tank.
Fire and explosion prevention: Gas stations are flammable and explosive places, and above-ground oil tanks need to take strict fire and explosion prevention measures, such as setting up fire barriers and installing electrostatic grounding devices.
Regular inspection: Regular inspection and maintenance of oil tanks to promptly discover and deal with potential safety hazards.

In short, above-ground gas station oil tanks play a vital role in the operation of gas stations, and their safety and reliability are directly related to the normal operation of gas stations and the safety of the surrounding environment.
